Raul, For complex searches I use that as well, but when one is moving quickly it is very convenient to set the search box to recipient and put in gw-info. It immediately limits the displayed messages to those to the gw-info list without going through the menus and tedium of the advanced search menu. It allows for very rapid skimming of mail. It was nearly unusable in Thunderbird 2.x. In 3.x it seem to require a left mouse click, then Win-Eyes tracked the setting fairly accurately as one cycled through the choices. In the Win-Eyes beta this ability deteriorated. I could change the box with the arrow keys, but had to tab in and out of the box to catch the current setting. Now it is no longer working at all as far as I can tell.
